Alyssa Acheson needed just one goal, an unassisted first period goal by Jessie Ryan, to defeat Section 7AA rival Grand Rapids/Greenway Lightning 1-0 at the CARC, January 20, 2011. Acheson stopped all 22 shots she faced in the shutout, while Lightning goaltender Sydney Helmbrecht was nearly as good, stopping 23 of 24. Ryan's goal at 10:18 was a great individual effort, first putting a hard wrist shot on Helmbrecht, then burying the rebound into an open net with the GRG goaltender sprawled on the ice. Both teams penalty kill was superb, keeping each other scoreless on 3 powerplays.
